The Las Vegas Strip is the iconic centre of Las Vegas often referred to as Sin City. The strip starts S of downtown (Las Vegas Boulevard South), and forms a N to S street lined with large casino-hotels. The N end of the Strip's casino section is marked by the tall Stratosphere tower. Frequent shuttle buses run up and down the Strip and connect the Strip to downtown. The convention center and the University of Nevada at Las Vegas (UNLV) are located E of the Strip, which is where the Las Vegas Monorail runs. The airport is E of the Strip near the S end.
